Cruel Gamer PC Video Game Reviews For Adults!

Just two reviews have been completed since i started this project but i have learned much along the way. There have been some serious pitfalls that I just did not anticipate. The technology behind the site is problematic at times but not exactly a cause of great concern or an impediment to the creation of reviews.

Here are some of the things I have to battle with in order to get these reviews out

1. Games that i dont enjoy ( Yes there are titles i just really don't enjoy playing but have to judge fairly )
2. Games that greedily hog resources ( 8 Cores and 4 Gigs of RAM yet im still at the mercy of a single app )
3. Being thorough ( It would be too easy just to skim a game and write bullshit but i try to be fair )

Now with that being said lets actually sit down for a minute to think about this. All three of these things are something an average gamer would not and does not have to do. But the minute I put on the hat of being a product tester I am forced to have integrity.

OK maybe im not forced to have integrity but it certainly is damn hard to just make up kind things to say about a game when theres so much i hate about it.

This provokes another question: Why am I so analytical of games?

1. Everybodys a critic ( Yeah opinions are like a hole in the head, who needs another one. )
2. Every critic wishes he could do what he critiques ( Not so sure about that one. )
3. Nobody likes being ripped off ( TRUE! )

My motivation has to be all of the above. I have been playing computer games in one form or another for at least the last twenty years. I have seen alot and the recent releases are mostly re-hashed and re-mixed and leave alot to be desired. When something is truely original it's exciting, otherwise I have to blast it to pieces for it's shortcomings.

Review number three is on the way. It's not quite classic but theres alot of buzz out about it Assassins Creed by Ubisoft. Should be complete by the end of this week. Being a one man operation is never easy but the show must go on!
